OPTICAL TOMOGRAPHY OF SMALL MOVING OBJECTS USING TIME DELAY AND INTEGRATION IMAGING

摘要

Three dimensional reconstruction of an object of interest (1) moving at a constant velocity. The object of interest (1) is centered. The object of interest (1) is imaged with optical point sources (27) located at multiple projection angles around the object of interest (1), in cooperation with opposing time delay and integration (TDI) image sensors 825) located at a distance from the objects of interest (1) such that there in no focal plane within the objects of interest (1) during imaging. Each of the TDI sensors (25) has a line transfer rate synchronized to the constant velocity of the objects interest (1).
